MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Mexico's leftist party demanded Tuesday that electoral officials recount every vote cast in the country's closest presidential race ever, claiming the balloting was manipulated. |

At least we can say that the left aren't sore losers exclusively in America.

I have no doubt that many right-wing parties would do the same.

Given that the current margin is 0.6 percent, I think they are perfectly justified in demanding a recount.

This is a very good commentary on the situation by the Times:
| Quote: | Respecting the vote
Protests by the defeated candidate threaten Mexico�s democracy
The frustration and anger were palpable. Having come within a whisker of victory, the supporters of the left-wing candidate in Mexico�s presidential election refused to believe that Andreas Manuel L�pez Obrador had been defeated by a mere 244,000 votes, out of 41 million cast on July 2. The result, giving victory to Felipe Calder�n of the ruling National Action Party, had to be fraudulent. And at a weekend rally Se�or L�pez Obrador fed their anger, demanding a recount, promising to challenge the result in court and calling on his supporters to keep up their demonstrations.
